First Impressions of Kingdom Come: Deliverance (Review in Progress)

BacklogCritic: "To put it short, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an obviously flawed and unorthodox but also highly original RPG that wobbles under the weight of its ambition. Baroque is a term that would fittingly describe it: it is so committed to thrust upon the player an extravagant, lofty experience of immersive realism that it seems entirely un-self-aware of its condition as a product in an industry that must cater to the lowest common denominator in order to turn a profit. And perhaps that is why it just might endure as a cult classic favourite once the dust has settled and its flaws are chiselled off with a series of patches and optimisations, just as RPGs such as Planescape: Torment and Fallout: New Vegas endured in spite of poor commercial success or a messy launch."
